Lynia — matting komedolytic cream with shikimic acid and azeloglicin
Fat and acne skin needs a cosmetic that will do two things at once: reduce the production of sebum and at the same time dry or irritate the skin. Lynia’s cream is based on such a compromise — shicimic acid and bamboo powder work on the mattality and expensiveness of pores, while azelogicin, niacinamide, and pantenol soothe, strengthen the barrier and level out the color. The effect is matte skin, but not removed.
Who's Lynia's Comedolytic Cream?
Will the cream work with fatty and sensitive skin at the same time?
Yes, that is one of his main assumptions. Szikimic acid works much softer than classical AHA or BHA acids, and accompanying extracts of cucumber, sage and mint and D-pantenol soothe irritation. The cream is designed for fatty, mixed and acne skin, also for reactive skin, which is bad for strong anti-acne preparations.
What skin problems address
First of all, overgrease during the day, blackheads, enlarged pores and uneven epidermal structure. It will also work when extra-flammable discolorations are resolved, and azeloglicin is responsible for brightening them.
Composition and action of the most important ingredients
What is shikimic acid and how it works on acne
Szikimic acid is an ingredient derived from star anise, having keratolytic and antibacterial effects. It regulates sebum secretion and makes it difficult to multiply the bacteria responsible for the formation of sprays, but, unlike salicylic acid, does not cause clear exfoliation or baking. That's why he's good with sensitive skin.
Azelogicin and niacinamide — duet for discoloration and pores
Azeloglicin is a water-soluble derivative of azelainic acid. It acts anti-inflammatory, inhibits the overproduction of sebum and lightens the over-flammatory discoloration, without giving a typical azelainic acid feeling of pinching. Niacinamid complements her work: strengthens the hydrolipid barrier, visually narrows the pores and evens the color.
Bamboo powder and hemp oil — mattiness without drying
Bamboo powder absorbs excess sebum directly on the skin surface, which gives immediate mat effect. Parallel hemp seed oil, rich in essential unsaturated fatty acids, rebuilds the lipid barrier — this is important because dried oil skin produces even more tallow. The composition is supplemented by esters of shea butter, chlorella extract, sea water and vitamin E.
Results confirmed by studies
What exactly did the apparatus tests show?
The manufacturer carried out apparatus measurements in which after the period of use there was a 25% decrease in porphyrin, a 53% decrease in the area occupied by them and a 16% reduction in sebum. Porphyrins are dyes produced by bacteria C. acnes — their measurement is treated as an indicator of bacterial activity in hair dwellings.
How long do you see the difference?
The matt effect occurs immediately after the application, while a real change in the condition of the skin — less black, smoother structure, less pores — takes about four weeks of regular use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the cream be applied under makeup in the morning?
Yeah. The formula is light and rapidly absorbed and bamboo powder further improves the foundation durability. Just wait a moment after the application before you apply more layers.
Can cream be combined with retinol or acids?
Yeah, but not in the same app. It is best to use cream in the morning and retinol in the evening – shikimic acid is mild, but with strong assets you can exceed the threshold of skin tolerance.

Nope. The recipe has been developed as non-combedogenic, and its purpose is to seditate the bellows. It does not contain heavy mineral oils or occlusive silicones.

Yes, it is a vegan dermatocosmetician, without animal ingredients.
Are there fragrances in the composition?
Yes, the formula contains lavender oil and natural fragrance ingredients: geraniol, linalol, linalyl acetate, beta-cariophylin, terpineol and geranyl acetate. People who are allergic to fragrance compositions should have previously tested on a small area of skin.
